    Based on a recent tweet about iron dosing, I’ve had a few requests for a . Iron deficiency is relatively frequent and seen by all types of physicians. For years, iron supplements were given multiple times a day. So why the change? 1/n

    1/ The older physician in this picture is Dr. Kenneth Walker. He was a brilliant internist at Grady Hospital who was the director of the 3rd year medical student medicine clerkship at Emory University. I had the honor to learn from him during my 3rd year rotations in 1995.

    Designing and executing good studies is hard (and often expensive). It’s a longer and often harder process, which partially explains why people may be reluctant to do their own primary data collection, but the payoff is worthwhile—results you can trust.

    Public anxiety may be directed at right now, but in the US, we still in the middle of season. Wash your hands. Cover your cough. (Bonus: these will also help prevent coronavirus infections!)

    Right. The crucial selection issue here is that “re-analysis” papers are published only when the paper had some reason to warrant a reanalysis! Nobody publishes “reanalysis” papers when the answer is “Yup, they did everything right, we got exactly the same answer”

    Reputable science writing with some good take-home points that apply to not just but also and other common pathogens. Wash your hands. Don’t touch your face. Wash your hands. Don’t share food/beverages/utensils. Wash your hands.

    The counts are mostly of confirmed cases. This is a good site to follow . As far as tests they were rapidly developed but are centralized and only available at few sites. In the US through

    Generic detection not being done much now in the hot spots. China has own kit (oligos at who site), I know a lab in AUS with 2 in house RT-rPCRs in use, the Corman assays are undoubtedly around Europe. This is how fast it can be done. Doubt China keeping up though, due2 numbers

    Med Micro and folks: How reliable are the current counts? For a novel virus, it seems fast to have so many tests already available. Are the tests going to central labs? How much is presumptive based on generic CoV detection?

    STAT gets it. Journals, don't paywall the coronavirus stuff, unless you want to contribute to the argument that all your content should be free to read. Which is also true, but secondary to the moment.

    The Hong Kong numbers are rising rapidly. I hope ppl recall why 1 hospital in HK had MD & RN deaths, while another had none -- infection control. What it will take to stop the Wuhan coronavirus

    If public obsession with masks brings an end to the hipster beard trend, it wouldn’t be the first time fashion was shaped by microbiological fears.

    The internet is awash in mask vendors and reviews, yet a major driver of whether they work is fit. When will there be custom mask-fitting businesses for the general public? Seems ripe. Furthermore, will seal the fate of the hipster beard?

    “R0 can be misrepresented, misinterpreted, and misapplied in a variety of ways...R0 must be applied and discussed with caution in research and practice.” As R0 estimates for begin to multiply, this paper is an excellent reminder.
